I was listening to a business presentation (CD) and the speaker made an interesting statement. According to research by Yahoo!, the fast growing sector of Internet users is that of people over 55 years of age. On the other end of the scale are those in elementry school, in which research shows that 85% of all kids in elementry school are active with e-mail. Wow, what a change in the times. I was thinking about this the other day when one of my kids asked me a question. My parents would have proudly exclaimed "look it up" which meant "go grab an encyclopedia and get your answer". I said "Look it up" and they went to the computer. Google has replaced the encyclopedia in our home, and I expect in most.

I am moving to a Treo 600 in the next couple of months. My company is transition its field managers to the new phone/camera/PDA with Verizon. My hopes is that the local provider can get theirs in stock at the same time and I can switch to them. The reason that I want the Treo is that it has a full fledged e-mail program. I could now check my e-mail anywhere at anytime. Since I prefer e-mail as my main method of communication this will really make my life better. The other side is the web access to go Google anything that I want.
